Judge refuses to allow texts found on T.Martins phone to be introduced as evidence even though they show he was involved in illegal activity.
Jury should see all evidence if it relates to any violent or illegal activity.
Outside pressure on judge from federal side? Holder has already been involved when he shouldn't had....
This whole case looking like a railroad job to me.

I realize that in your world you can judge people freely and decide their innocence or guilt as you see fit.
However, (and thankfully) our legal system does not work that way. It seeks to eliminate and keep clear any preconceived notions that one might have about a defendant.
Text messages showing that he was involved in illegal activity mean nothing. All the court cares about are the facts that we know and the evidence that supports those facts. The text messages would only seek to prove character traits of Martin. Again, not something that the court cares about.
